Isospeed Rexxxer 1.25/16 24kg

Isospeed Rexxxer 1.25 (?) to go next. I pumped up the tension from my usual 23kg to 24kg this time. It's the second oval shaped string I'll be playing with, after the Stringlab Orbitour Gold 1.24/1.28, also made in Austria . Since it's an oval-shaped string, i think Stringlab's gauge is more accurate.

* That's not lead tape! Instead, I got a sticky magnetic sheet for 1€ and cut even 16cm strips of it.
Total weight of the sheet was 100grams and its dimensions 21cm*16*cm=336cm(2).

So, if my math is correct each 16cm strip I sticked weighs 4.46grams (*4 total strips) = 19 grams extra weight?! I've played with these strips on yesterday and it didn't feel too heavy, how is this possible? Is my Math wrong?

Hit half an hour with the Rexxxer today. The combo with this soft-ish racket is good. Glad I didn't put it on the stiffer Nova.
Very directional control. Great for my one-handed backhand. Only downside is it feels a bit board-like. Stiff but not hurting my arm. I think it's still going through the break-in period.
